Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a vehicle behavior control device capable of improving responsivity of a vehicle behavior and a linear feeling with respect to a steering wheel operation without causing a driver to experience a strong feeling of intervention of the control and, at the same time, capable of controlling behavior of a vehicle in such a manner as to also improve stability of the vehicle attitude and riding comfort. In a vehicle behavior control device applied to a vehicle having steerable front road wheels, the vehicle behavior control device includes a PCM which acquires a steering speed of the vehicle, and generates a deceleration jerk which is a rearward jerk in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle when the steering speed becomes equal to or greater than a given threshold T S1 which is greater than zero.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle behavior control device applied to a vehicle having a steerable front road wheel, the vehicle behavior control device comprising: a steering speed acquiring part configured to acquire a steering speed of the vehicle; and a deceleration jerk generating part configured to generate a deceleration jerk which is a rearward jerk in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, when the steering speed becomes equal to or greater than a given threshold which is greater than zero, wherein, when the steering speed becomes equal to or greater than the threshold, the deceleration jerk generating part is configured to generate the deceleration jerk such that a peak of the deceleration jerk occurs before a peak of a jerk in a width direction of the vehicle. 2. The vehicle behavior control device according to claim 1 , wherein the deceleration jerk generating part is configured to start to reduce a driving force of the vehicle when the steering speed becomes equal to or greater than the threshold, so as to generate the deceleration jerk.
